Copyto the Gubernia Executive Committee

Immediatelyarrest Kogan, a member of the Kursk
Central Purchasing Board, for refusing to help 120 starving
workers from Moscow and sending them away
empty-handed. This to be published in the newspapers and by leaflet,
so that all employees of the central purchasing boards and
food organisations should know that formal and
bureaucratic attitudes to work and incapacity to help starving
workers will earn severe reprisals, up to and including
shooting.
